Webber Pleads Guilty in Culver-Stockton Lockdown Incident

A St. Louis man pleaded guilty Friday to charges filed in connection with a lockdown last year at Culver Stockton College in Canton.

During a plea hearing in Lewis County Circuit Court, 19 year old Maxwell Webber pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of felonious restraint. As part of a plea agreement, additional charges of unlawful use of a weapon, armed criminal action and attempted robbery were dropped.

Webber is alleged to have threatened another student with a gun on the Culver Stockton campus last November 29th.

Webber’s case had been scheduled to go to trial Wednesday in Adair County on change of venue.
